To aZZ whom it may oonoern: i

Be it known that we, FRANK K. RoBER'rs and GEORGE M. BURROUGHS, citizens of the United States, residing at Santa Cruz, in the county of Santa Cruz and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fenders for Metallic Tubs or Boilers; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of said inventon, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itmost nearly appertains to make, use,

and practice the same.

tion, and Figs. 2 and 3 are also perspective views of our invention, in the former it being shown applied to a portion of a wash tub, and in the latterisolated and with the reinforcing block omitted.

We take a block of wood or rubber, a', or other suitable material, and secure it to a piece of metal, previously treated to form a pocket-like device. Said piece about midway its length, has formed therewith angular or bent, lateral portions or extensions a, caused to lap each other atl their free ends and rest upon said block, and the lower portion b, of the piece is bent upward and against the vblock, with its free end resting upon the lapped end-portions of said lateral portions or extensions a. Here the lateral portions or extensions o:V and lower portion b are Secured, by a rivetas shown or otherwise, to the block a', thus substantially seouring the metal piece to said block and forming a pocket to receive the latter. The reinaining or upper portion of the metal piece is now bent or formed into a hook b', to cause it to engage the upper edge of the tub or boiler, for the ready adjustment of the contrivance or pocket-like device thereto, in suitably disposing the block to receive the pressure of the wringer-securing clamps,

'as shown, and thus prevent the immediate contactor impingement of said clamps upon or with, and the marring or distorting, bend- A fender for clothes wringers, consisting of a block and a pocket-like support for said block, having a hook adapted to engage the upper edge of the tub or boiler, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
